Heights of Power

“So this is a city where you can live inside your favourite book, movie, tv show, or videogame, where you can be anyone you could possibly ever want to be, and you’re seriously telling me there’s no-one here who’s trying to be me, except for me? That’s ridiculous.”– Rowdy Roddy Randy

Season One of the Rowdy Roddy Randy Show looks at the prequel years of Municipal City, when a handsome young man is thrust into the scene to irreparably shake things up forever. Watch with awe as an impressionable boy is forged into the smelted steel of manhood to become the unparalleled warrior-wizard-celebrity-genius that we already know him to be.

Season Two reboots the double-life Randy was living while Lockhart stumbled about, obsessing about her cyborg boyfriend. Torn between his love for Anna, his indifference to Lockhart, and his testicle-shrinking detestation of Sam, Randy must decide whether he wants to be the best by playing by the rules, or be the best because he’s awesome.

And finally Season Three continues on as sequel to where Cult Fiction left off, in a city scourged with the dangerous E-Virus, ready to explode, just waiting on the right spark to set it off. Will Randy be the jerk to set it off? Or will he rise to the challenge and claim that number one spot he so rightly deserves, in CULT FICTION: PLAYER TWO!

In the first Season of Birth, life was created without death and twelve immortals were born. They were the Weapons, and when the Seasons turned, from Birth to Growth, from Decay to Death, the world died and the Weapons remained.

In the second Season of Birth, the world was reborn and blessed with mortal life who worshipped the Weapons as gods, crafting the world to their glory. Each new Cycle saw more life born and reborn only to become subject to the Weapons’ will, only to be given a hopeless life under a Weapon’s rule. Hopeless, until one day a Human named Adelis uncovers the way to kill them.

Adelis is a mother who loves her son. Raised to value strength above all else, she raises her son, Ruke, to be strong enough to withstand the world. Adelis believes the meaning of life is to give your life meaning, and if she can kill just one immortal, it would give meaning to all.

Ruke is a son who seeks desperate freedom from his maniac of a mother. Together with Grin—a drunken hound who is made more from wine and steel than Meat—he will struggle to survive in a world filled with peril, made all the worse by a mother who goes actively searching for more.

And Caze, the most feared of all the Weapons, is a winged demon responsible for the deaths of billions. Tired of eternity, he yearns for a life of purpose and worth, and he believes he finds this worth when he uncovers the plans of the First Weapon to destroy all life. Caze sets out to stop this, to do something of meaning for once, and he will not fail.

After all, what could possibly stop an immortal Weapon?

Dovid lives in a perfect world, free of crime, war, or poverty, and everyone is given everything they could possibly need. The only thing that could be considered wrong with this world (and there is no-one really that engages in such consideration) is that before you reach the age of sixteen you will lose one of your senses. Your eyes will fall out, or your nose will slide off, your tongue will decompose, your ears will rip free, or your skin will rot and harden into scar tissue. And nobody thinks this is strange.

People are given technological upgrades instead, that simulate the old sense-perception, and many even say improves upon it. In fact Dovid is distraught that he is the oldest person in the world at sixteen to have not received a single inability; he is abnormally normal. He lives a standard life in his self-sustaining island, which he never needs to leave, and has companionship in the form of his walls and their various smiley face facades. Dovid’s social interactions are limited to communications with his eyeless brother Mart, until his sixteenth birthday, when Dovid is convinced to leave his island and venture to a Physical Leisure a place where people are made to actually interact with other people in the flesh. The four options for this physical interaction are sexual, narcotic, violent or gluttonous; things that every normal person apparently does.

But what if Dovid is not normal? What if he has already received his inability and it is not the ability of sight or sound or touch or taste or smell. What if it is a sense of perception beyond those standard five, and worse, what if there are others like him?

Municipal the only place on earth where you can be anyone. Anyone from your favourite movies, books, tv shows, comics, video games or any cult media you can imagine. This is not virtual reality. This is real. Tina Lockhart arrives at the City to do exactly that, and is willing to pay any price to get in, willing to take the Elixir drug she needs just to breathe the air, and willing to kill, and risk being killed, just to survive.
Municipal the only place on earth where you can do anything. Anything can be replicated, given the right technology, and anything can be done as long as you follow the rules of the game. But someone isn’t playing by the rules. Someone is murdering players in the safe zones, something that should be impossible. As dangerous as this is for Tina Lockhart, things get worse as she becomes the one accused of these killings, and Tina desperately needs to find the truth in her world of cult fiction.
